It’s been a wild return to the Middle Kingdom, full of snow and trains and friendly taxi drivers. But I’m delighted to be here.

I’ll tell you about it all during tonight’s live online Reading and Discussion. I’ll do an update from Beijing, a reading from Chapter 32 “White Rabbit, Black Rabbit,” and a discussion based on your responses to the question, “When did you realize you were not immortal?” Details on how to connect are below.

The Ice Festival in Harbin was stunning, absolutely freezing, and magical. I signed copies of Double Happiness over “rare American Whiskey” (turned out to be Jack Daniels) in a cafe called Sweet Station. Now we’re down in Beijing, taking in the massive changes this city has undergone since I was last here over a decade ago.

Experience reading the book in community tonight at 6:30pm Pacific Time, 9:30pm Eastern Time. I’ll read from “Walking to Heaven,” Chapter 26, beginning on page 194, and then we’ll open it up for this question:

Why do you think the book is entitled “Double Happiness”?

I’ll also comment briefly on yesterday’s event: Taiwan and China having their first state-to-state talks.
